FromSoft's Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, has been delayed into 2027

FromSoftware's The Duskbloods - a game that is best described as Bloodborne meets Sekiro meets Dark Souls, with jetpacks and dinos thrown in - has been delayed from its 2026 launch window into an unspecified time in 2027.

The short version

• "While development of The Duskbloods is at the final adjustment stage, we have made the decision to move the launch window to 2027," says a tweet from the game's official Twitter account.
• Many consumers were uncertain whether the game would ever make its vague '2026' release window, given we've heard nothing from either publisher Nintendo or developer FromSoft since August's playtests.
• Appetite for the game is ravenous, it seems: in the aforementioned closed network test, more people applied to try the game out than Elden Ring Nightreign - and that's an impressive stat, considering The Duskbloods is only launching on Switch 2 .

What happened

But maybe a bit more time in the oven is a good thing for this peculiar, experimental title: the network test hasn't been without problems, as the first session ended abruptly following major connectivity issues . Though these were ironed out by the later sessions, here's hoping a full launch will be a little more stable than that.
